An Eternity In Nowhere

[jenee]

Jyrra nodded, biting her lipand sitting down on the armchair in the living area that was sort of connected to the kitchen. "Good morning..." she murmured, her voice breaking off as she tilted her head toward the floor.

[m!chelle--✗]

Jamison laughed. "Evening, actually. We slept the day away." He got out an iron pan and set it on the small cooking stove, and cracked a few eggs into it. The teenager prodded the, around for a moment, and then slapped down a few pieces of bread to fry in the egg yolk. "Breakfast for dinner alright?" he asked, grinning.

[jenee]

Jyrra was a bit surprised how Jamison was acting...like nothing had happened and everything was back to normal. She was relieved, but still nervous all the same. "Sure.." she replied, softly but with a small smile. "Is Jacyln up yet?"

[m!chelle--✗]

Jamison turned back to the stove, taking the pan handle and flipping the toast with the ease of long practice. "Nope, not yet," he replied, grabbing a plate and tipping the food onto it. He placed it in front of Jyrra, announcing, "Fried egg and toast, madame," with a slight bow. The teenager went back to the kitchen and started to prepare his own food.
A few minutes later Jaclyn stumbled into the room, eyes wide and blank. Jamison quickly helped her to sit down next to Jyrra, and went to make her some food as well. Jaclyn's right fist was clenched shut, still clutching the necklace that she'd ripped from her throat a while earlier.

[jenee]

Jyrra laughed a little-a sign of happiness that hadn't been forced. Grinning slightly, she picked up her fork and tried to change her own mood a bit. "This smells great," she commented before taking a bite, savoring the warm taste of the food in her mouth.
When Jacyln showed up, however, she began to feel another wave of unease. She gripped her fork a bit tighter, taking slower bites.

[m!chelle--✗]

Jaclyn took a slow, shuddering breath, and glanced at Jyrra. "How are you feeling?" she asked, her voice hoarse, the words forced out with great effort. She let her hand soften slightly, and the necklace fell quietly to the table.

[jenee]

Jyrra's eyes, however unseeing, were averted to her breakfast, where she prodded her toast with her fork as she tried to ease her nerves over the awkward situation. "Better.." Jyrra murmured, noticing all the signs of distress Jacyln had made obvious. "And you..?"

[m!chelle--✗]

Jaclyn bit her lip, gazing down at the necklace with a pained expression. "Alright," she murmured.
Jamison came to place a plate of food down in front of her, and then sat with his own, starting to eat while glancing nervously between his sisters.
Jaclyn was still for a moment, and then slowly picked up her fork and forced a bite of food into her mouth, chewing absently and swallowing as she continued to stare down at the table.

[jenee]

Ooc; -glances back- Sheesh, I can't believe I wrote 'breakfast' in my last post. xD I keep forgetting it's night.

Bic; Jyrra slowly finsihed her meal, then pushed the plate to the side and continued to seem to stare down at absolutely nothing before finally speaking, "I think...I think we need to talk."
Fear clawed at every corner of her mind, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to put off this conversation much longer. She was anxious to know what had happened the night beforehand, and yet was dreading the answers.

[m!chelle--✗]

Jaclyn paused, and then put down her fork. She nodded slowly, sighing and closing her eyes. "Yes, we do," she agreed quietly.
Jamison glanced from one to the other, fork and knife still in hand, mouth full of food.

[jenee]

Jyrra lifted her head, though only slightly, and rested her elbows on the table with her arms propped up.
What am I supposed to say? she wondered desperately, gritting her teeth. Suddenly, it came to her.
"Jacyln...how.." she broke off, then forced herself to continue. "What happened?"

[m!chelle--✗]

Jaclyn sighed again, propping her own elbows on the table , clasping her hands in front of her, and resting her chin upon them, eyes still closed. She shook her head and murmured, "She attacked you, and knocked you unconscious. She said she'd kill you if i didn't give her my egg, so I did... She ran off with it, and I carried you back."

[jenee]

Jyrra grimaced her expression half shock and half pain. It was just as she thought-it was what the egg had objected to.
She was just a bother.
She bit her lip, her eyes glazed with frusteration and guilt. Even now-even though she had only had it for a couple days-she couldn't imagine herself being parted from her egg. And Jacyln had given that up to make sure she survived. "Jacyln, I'm so sorry," she finally blurted out, her voice shakey. "I just...this is all my fault. I came to look for you, and-and I shouldn't have. I thought that because I'd never had trouble in the forest before that I'd be safe. I can't..."
I can't defend myself and I can't do what you and Jamison do. I can't learn certain things on my own and I can't do certain tasks. As much as the words were stinging her, she couldn't bring herself to say them.

[m!chelle--✗]

Jaclyn sighed, shaking her head again. "We have to fix this."
She blinked and glanced up, her expression grim.
"I should have attended to this matter before it got so dire, but now our need for you to be able to defend yourself has never been greater," she murmured, glancing at her sister.
"Jyrra, I'm sorry, I know it'll be hard, but you have to learn to use more complex magic. Charter magic."

[jenee]

Ooc;
Hang on a moment.
Only charter mages can use charter magic, right?
